Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
Has anyone put a pontiac auto shift **** in a camaro? If so does it connect easily or would I have to modify it to fit the camaro shifter?

Our Camaro has a Firebird T-handle shifter.
Just swapped over IIRC. It's been 5 years no problem.

My T/A had a camaro handle in it. Swapped right over to a T/A handle, no problems.

Re: Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
does the TA **** fit right on the camaro? The TA has the button on the side while the camaro has it on top.

Re: Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
yep..direct fit
The button still pushes the the little plastic whatchacallit in the center of the shift lever, the same way the camaro one does.

Re: Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
Better question would be...
Has anyone (I think they may have but I've forgotten) put a shift **** from a Grand Am/Prix (the cobra-head style that's almost like a 5-speed **** but with the button on the front) into a 3rd gen? Not that I can use one (5-speed here), but out of curiosity?

Re: Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
Almost any GM auto shift ****/handle will fit any other GM product with minor exceptions...one is that Corvettes are unique.
I have a Cadillac Allante shifter in my 92 RS and a Pontiac Aztec shifter in my 96 Impala SS.
The only thing different with most GM shifters is the location of the lock-out button. They still work the same.

I have to say I like my stock leather T handle in my TA better then the stock one in the RS.

Re: Pontiac automatic shift **** in a camaro
I like the early 3rd gen Camaro ones with the super fat ball on top...except they're broken on most of the cars that I see, and the ball is literally sitting on top of the console and just moves with the shifter...
